lets just say, i'll be there if i am still living anywhere close to B/N after I get out of school
They are two different meets. Back 2 Normal is a smaller user organized meet, not organized by Mitsu like Factory Mod. When Ive ben to B2N, we all crashed at the Days Inn, had a party/meet at the hotel Friday night, a show/BBQ Saturday afternoon at a park, then everyone rolls to the factory to get a tour and picture up front, usually a rally to a resteraunt Sat night, then gokarts Sunday afternoon.
For Factory MOD, I didnt show up till Saturday morning, just went straight to the factory where Mitsu setup the meet. Had everyone organized by type of car, big tents with free giveaways and showing off some of their past/present cars. They had the big raffle giveaway late in the afternoon, everyone started to leave around 5 or 6? I cant remember.
B2N /= Factory MOD.
7g for life!

Back to Normal is a meet that was set up way back in the year 2000 that alowed the owners of the 3rd Gen Eclipse, Dodge Stratus, Galant to come together to visit the birth place of our cars. Like " MOD" B2N is of the same nature, but only to those who's cars were actually built in the Normal, IL plant (Not Lancers, Evos, ect). Where MOD is and "Mitsubishi Owners Day" open to everyone, just having it at the North America Plant.
So no one else gets confused, B2N is the original. The select few who started this meet back in 2000 have since moved on and are not apart of it now. I am the 4 person to take over the meet from the 2 guys that brought this all together. Again, this is not my meet, it is everyones, I just help to make it happen. B2N is also a tad better than MOD, to where our group has a tad more things at the factory and it is on a more personal level. We have the personal tour, special shopping not open to everyone or even at MOD, Meet and great with the tech, and owners, to where we are alowed to ask questions and they answer.
Among the other things we do, there are tons of videos up on YOUTUBE among pictures. All that can be found in the link below. I thought I had a thread posted about the meet, but it seems to be missing. So here is the same one from C3G.

Ahhhh, close, but not 100%.
Close, but not 100% It is "like" MOD, but is not MOD.
Yes, please hang on people.. I will have everything up for you in due time. :)
B2N is not MOD. Man, I wish I would have checked this sooner.

Hmmm... I was right then. Go figure.
I guess I may be going to both in that case. Somebody will need to drive to come bail me out if my car breaks down.
i'll pass on that TJ, but i"ll be at B2N hopefully
Oh.. and just to clear some more things up. Last year ( B2N8 ), we had it at MOD07 just to see if we could boost the number in attendence. We found out that the weekend was way too short, and we were not treated as nice as what we are on Memorial Day Weekend. It was more or less a trial last year with MOD, so that is pretty much why some people see B2N = MOD.
ohhhhh, ok. OK. i'll have to get back to you guys then. i don't know which one i'll make it to. Thanks for clearing that up though ICEMAN

Does anyone know what weekend MOD will be. I think having one on one time with Factory techs, and being able to tour the plant would be cool for my first time going to either. Plus it's longer, and if i'm driving all that way i don't want to have to turn right around and drive back. Right now (depending on the turnout) B2N is better for me.
I'm really looking at going to both this year.
TJ, if it breaks you will be close enough to KC that I can hook you up with getting it fixed, pretty much no matter what.
